قَالَ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَبَوْا إِلَّا تَوَثُّباً عَلَيَّ وَ قَطِيعَةً لِي وَ شَتِيمَةً فَأَرْفُضُهُمْ قَالَ إِذاً يَرْفُضَكُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعاً قَالَ فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ قَالَ تَصِلُ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ وَ تُعْطِي مَنْ حَرَمَكَ وَ تَعْفُو عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ ظَهِيرٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘It reached me from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> that a man came over to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! My family members refuse except to leap upon me and cut me off and accuse me. So, shall I reject them?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Then Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Reject you entirely’. He said, ‘So how shall I deal with it?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Maintain good relationship with the one who cuts you off, and give to the one who deprives you, and excuse the one who oppresses you, for when you do that, there would be for you, from Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, a Backing’.
